What If Earth Were Sucked Into a Black Hole?

Spread The Viralist



Just 3,000 light-years from Earth is a black hole visible to the naked eye. Thankfully, we are a safe distance from this stellar black hole and many others like it. There are approximately 100 million of them out there in our galaxy that we know of. They are the remnants of supernovae, which occur when stars 10 to 20 times larger than our Sun collapse in on themselves. Could a black hole devour us all one day? There are millions of them out there just waiting. And if we happened to make a black hole accidentally, well, you better fasten your seatbelts. Things are going to really suck! Quite literally. What would we see if we got pulled into a black hole? Could Earth orbit the Sun and a black hole? Would we survive spaghettification? What would happen if we get past the event horizon?

  1. PADI BOYD: This only happens with stellar mass black holes where you can feel that change in gravity. But, if you found yourself entering a supermassive black hole, you wouldn't feel a thing! All of a sudden, you just would be inside the black hole, never to be seen again.

  2. I’m sorry but I’m reporting this to you too because why are you talking about dangerous things I am seven years old OK I know how to use this phone OK and I want you to be banned from YouTube forever
